      THE STEAMER PEARL. - This steamer, which ran aground day before yesterday, near Fighting Island, a few miles below the city, has not yet been got off. The steamer MICHIGAN went to her assistance yesterday, but could do nothing. We understand several scows will be sent to her relief, and it is hoped she will be got off in a day or two. - Detroit Free Press, 4th.
